Biography

Father Adam de Gurdon

Sir Adam III de Gurdon or Gordon (born c 1220 - died 1305),^[1] was an English knight who rebelled against King Henry III and fought in single combat against the Prince Edward, the king's son and the future King Edward I. They were reconciled and he served Edward faithful from then on.^[2][3][4]

Sir Adam married:

• Constance daughter and heiress of John de Vanuz, whose estates were at Selborne. It appears their daughter was Joan, who was heiress to Constance's inheritance in Nutley, which she settled upon James Norton of East Tisted and his wife Elizabeth.
• Almeria, by whom he had two sons.
• Agnes, whose daughter Johanna was his heiress.[?]

From his second son, Robert, the Gurdons of Assington and Letton are descended.^[5]
